1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. In a 2-qt casserole dish, combine warm potatoes, cheeses, bacon bits (reserving 1 Tbs), onion, salt and pepper to taste, and garlic powder.
3. Stir until the cheeses start to melt.
4. Combine melted butter, 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, reserved bacon bits, onion powder and bread crumbs in a small bowl.
5. Sprinkle over the potato mixture.
